[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pyle and Whitman parent here. While there are quite a few trips every year they tend to be quite pricy. After reviewing, I can normally take the entire family of 4 for the around the price of one kid going and sharing a room. We let our daughter go to two of them and even she now states just doing it up as a fam for spring or winter break is preferable.  Just an opinion [/quote]

I agree. We did one trip knowing the math doesn't compare to the value we could have had with a family trip. But we knew going in that it would just be a one-off:  we wanted DC to develop some independence in travel that they wouldn't get in a sleepaway camp.  But, the schedules on these trips (as on all package tours, I think) are so packed that the kids get incredibly tired.  It worked out for summer only b/c we didn't book other summer activities immediately after the trip. I can't imagine doing group int'l travel for spring break -- too tiring w/o adequate time to recover before school.  But, having said that, my DC thoroughly enjoyed the travel opportunity, being on their own (w/o parents, but some chaperones for security assurances), and exploring a new city with kids their own ages.  I did the same as a high schooler, and it was great fun.  But, definitely not necessary.[/quote]
